I have that exact same kind of dream too. It's really creepy! I go to eat something in the dream and my teeth are fallling out as I'm chewing. Very disturbing.

I don't know how long you have been only sleeping 2 hours per night, if its due to meds or circimstance, or if you nap during the day. I do know that if you only get a couple of hours sleep in a 24 hr period, this will not help ptsd or any other problem. I hope you talk to your doctor very soon and try to sort it out. Sleep deprivation can cause further anxiety, panic, depression, etc.l just to name a few.
I have been there myself. Seperation can cause sleep problems but it can also play havoc on your physical health. I hope you get this figured out and feel better

I have the teeth-falling-out dream, too. It's actually a really common one - normally they kind of disintegrate. Some people run out of teeth, others have an infinite supply. From personal experience, it's a stress dream. But according to books it means you want to get pregnant. :P
Hi Matt and welcome. I'm new too. I just wanted to say that my nightmares come back when I am stressed out, and they happen over and over and over. I too am on Seroquel but I haven't noticed that affecting dreams, only sleep patterns. My fiance left me as well because (aside from many other PTSD related things) I was so tired all the time, always sleeping (when symptoms were stronger). Our relationship deminished. I feel for ya. But yes stress definately makes those symptoms/nightmares all the stronger.

I've read books that say losing teeth in dreams symbolizes everything from gaining wisdom to getting money. Pregnant is a new one. When I have them it's usually with a feeling that my body is rotting from the inside out. They do just crumble away, or I reach in my mouth because they hurt and they just come out in my fingers.
I'm kind of hesitant to assign meanings to dreams because I have so many dreams where I see my loved ones tortured to death in front of me. Some of the worst are where my children are kidnapped and their broken, abused bodies are returned to me. I also die a lot in my dreams.

Agh! I recently had this teeth nightmare for the first time.
Hi, Matt. I've suffered from night terrors, nightmares, sleep-walking, insomnia, over-sleeping, and developing bizarre cycles (three 3 hour naps a day or becoming completely nocturnal, down when the sun is coming up and up when it's going down), all my life. I am actually scared to go to sleep right now! >.< Sleeping next to my fiance helps, but he gets up about an hour before I do, and when he gets out of bed I have nightmares that seem to last for days in my dreamworld, and it is very hard for me to wake up. : ( These issues stem from my trauma, though generally when they get worse they are illustrating something that I am not dealing with, and my sleep generally improves when I feel like I'm dealing with things and in control of/comfortable with my life.

Man, that's an intense nightmare. I think when it comes to things like the teeth-falling-out-dream you have to figure out what it means to you. I totally don't believe in universal dream meanings. Like I said for me, it means I'm stressed and have too much on my plate.
I've been doing much better with the nightmares since they up'd my geodon and added Prozocin (sp?) - I still have my 'normal' dreams, though, and that's really important to me. Dreams always have been.

I get them, too, but it's weird. Since my PTSD got really bad I don't mind them as much if that makes sense. I think it is because I WAKE UP from them? Like in a dream--they are very bad and graphic so I willnot relay---all that happens and then I wake up and feel GOOD!
Does that make sense? To feel good for even 15 minutes feels, well...GOOD!
Conversely, I beautiful dream where I am warm and happy ends and I wake up and then it just makes me mad the rest of the morning if not the whole dern day!!!

Ough I slept so great yesterday and today I have had 5:30 hours of sleep because I woke up with a nightmare AGAIN!
This nightmare was so odd! My nightmares always start with a dream and whenever I'm having a dream and I think: 'hey its a dream' then it suddenly went/goes dark and my nightmare starts.
This dream/nightmare started when I was in the mosque taking arabic lessons and had the same Imam I had when I was 12 (no I didnt get sexually assaulted or anything it were just lessons in a mosque with 40 other kids(thank god)) and I suddenly left the room because prayers were starting and I was talking outside with my brother and cousin, so about 5 minutes pasts and we want to go inside but they already started and I think Damned, about a second later I end up in a dark house like in those movies and its like I'm floating but I see this woman sit on a table, then I hear a lightning and see itsflash and after some ninja just cuts her for no reason well and then I can suddenly run again and when I go up I see 2 people in suits and they get shot away (with psychic powers) and I see more blood. Well the scarry part starts now, so I'm at this the ceiling of the house and its like I remember because in some corner is there a bag but its guarded by a ghost(or something its just a head) called arthur and I know there is always a weapon in that bag so I take out the pistol and shoot the ninja, but than the rest goes looking for me and I get really scared and Arthur then says: find me 4 of everything and I shall grant you more weapons, so I search in total panic and fear and find it but right when I have receive those 4 people with smg's find me and they want to kill me but I say to arthur: hey arthur can you test out these weapons on them, well he shoots them away, note im stiilll shitting my pants and after that, suddenly out of nothing my brother and sister in law pop uo in the room and they cleaned the room and storred the weapons in a bag, I hear more shooting and people screaming. After that it just stops and then I hear those ninja's coming to the ceiling and I pick a weapon and shoot them, when I turn around to pick up another gun suddenly this little tinted (I'm not against black people or anything dont get me wrong, its just what happend in the nightmare) girl stands there and I want to shoot it but my gun jams and then she says:
I'm GONNA KILL YOU
She later explains she kills for fun with some text game on TV, and right when she wants to kill us I say: how old are you?(note: I'm thinking hey she is a ghost that kills for fun she must be years and years old) and then I kiss her, she laughs and I wake up like in those movies where people's eyes just popps open! And 26 minutes later I tell my nightmare.
I'm getting sick of these nightmares because I ALWAYS have fight for my life and always wake up 5 1/2 - 6 hours later, its weard that I can remember them so good! What is every1s nightmares about? If you can remember them?
Thanks in advance

That really sucks, Bordo. Someone around here suggested sleeping for only 4 hours at a time to avoid going into the dreaming stage of sleep. It's not much, but it's something.
I tend to have the same kinds of nightmares. One where I'm at work and I'm trying to work but also hide from my coworkers. One where I'm fighting with my dad and being evicted from my house because of him. One where I'm fighting with my dad and my little bro comes in and I knock him to the ground and bang his head against it until there's nothing left. And one where I have to fight for my life against some woman and I can't punch or kick right and always miss her. The last one I had was different... I was trying to protect a baby and went running through an old warehouse. The baby disappeared and things went all Silent Hill on me and there was a demon trying to get me and I was still trying to find the baby because I had just had it a second ago and I started screaming for my mom. I realized I was dreaming and kept screaming hoping to wake myself up but eventually just got hoarse and collapsed and then I woke up.
